[tdf-discuss] Concerned about Table formatting in Writer
It has taken me quite a while to get some insight into the table formatting issues. Twenty six year old Listserv lists are not the most effective means of knowledge sharing. That set aside, the fact of the matter is that maintaining a company style in Writer tables is a rather tedious chore. I maintain a couple of 1000+ page documents which contain many tables. For this type and size of document, Writer is superb over the competition. There is however one but... That is the lack of table styles. I tried as a work around to apply a user defined autoformat to all tables. But unfortunately there is a bug in autoformats. Back in 20008 this bug has already been reported to the OOo community (http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94630). I have later on added comments to that report. Because it got little attention, I have taken the liberty of posting it with reference again to the Libo community (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31005). Forgive me if I have infringed on the rules of double posting by doing so. I found the issue important enough to bring to the attention again, and I must admit, also as a test to see if Libo was really going to live up with its promises. I have discussed this issue directly with two core actors in the Libo community who bot advised me to post the problem on this list. Unfortunately I am not a programmer, so I can not solve this myself. I can offer my time for thoroughly testing any early or late implementations that solve this problem. For me the solution is not necessarily in fixing the table autoformats. A more principled solution using table styles or table cell styles (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34391) would be great. I would appreciate that solving this issue would get a higher priority than it presently has. thank you for your attention, Pieter Zanstra -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [tdf-discuss] QA IRC session on bug triage tomorrow

So we will have 3.4 beta for our tests. Is there any official download page of the beta? On http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/ there is no link. The only way to get it was: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ Yes, that's it, it's a daily build, so no other link to get it in fact.

[tdf-discuss] Feature request
I've a request for a new feature/improvement: in the default paths is not possible to set different paths for the different type of documents. In some companies (like the one in which I work) the documents are stored in different path depending on the type, and is a little annoying change by hand the path every time one use a different component.

[tdf-discuss] Re: 3.4 beta 1 deb package too small

Hm, nobody interested at all? At least on IRC I can't see any activity. I was interested but I'm fighting with the beta 1: On WIN XP 32bit SP3 there are no icons neither on the start box nor on LibO itself. The text in the boxes is mostly unreadable because I only see the bottom half of the text. I can't save any new text or spreadsheet. When I'm trying to save the spreadsheet the whole program freezes. So it makes no sense to make a bug triage with the beta1 on XP. Tomorrow I will not have time to follow.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Feature request
I'll throw in a feature request/improvement of my own, since the conversation title is rather unambiguous. Unlike most (not all) LibreOffice feature requests that are inspired by Microsoft Office, mine is inspired by GIMP. I was working with a .xcf file in GIMP the other day, and it came time for me to export it. I went to File-Save As and changed the name from file.xcf to file.jpg and hit enter. Without me selecting .jpg from the list of file types, I got the jpg dialogue boxes (flatten image? Image quality, etc.), and it saved as a .jpg file, not as a .xcf file with a .jpg extension. Other than changing the extension on the file name, I didn't tell it to change the file type, it just knew. If I tried opening file.odt file in LibreOffice and did a save as and saved it with the name of file.doc without also changing the file type, I'd get an ODF file with a .doc file extension. Is there anyway of utilizing GIMP's Save As file extension recognition? That way, we would probably get less document.odt saved with a .doc file extension. (Feel free to replace .doc with the favorite non-ODF file extension of your choice. I'm not trying to start a Microsoft file format flame war, I'm just using examples that I use.) I should add that I don't want to change the default file format. I like ODF as my default. But occasionally, I have to save files in non-ODF format.
